Recently, an increasing interest in fruits and vegetable eating has been noticed particular through epidemiological biochemical studies pointing to their health benefits for human health. Specifically, apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) are one of the most frequently consumed fruits. Therefore, current study aimed compare total polyphenols content (TPC) antioxidant activity (AA) apple from differe...

Fruit size is a commercially valuable trait that determined by the extent of fruit growth. In apple, (Malus × domestica Borkh.), early growth facilitated intensive cell production, but mechanisms regulating these processes are not well understood. this study, members five gene families involved in regulation were identified and evaluated apple: AUXIN-REGULATED GENE INVOLVED IN ORGAN SIZE (ARGOS...

Abstract India is the fifth-largest apple producer in world with more than 2 MT per year. Mechanical damage such as bruises of apples ( Malus domestica Borkh.), which can result considerable wastage and decline quality, a major problem industry. On-site investigations orchard management strategies to reduce Northern were conducted by first author collaboration University Bonn. The industry incl...

Drought stress is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit production and development apples (Malus domestica Borkh.). The role melatonin well known in protection plants under stresses. In this study, we investigated effect on apple rootstock M. hupehensis Rehd drought stress. results showed inhibited growth dramatically reduced root surface area, volume, number tips forks, diameter....

Room-temperature shelf life is a key factor in fresh market apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) quality and commercial value. To investigate the genetic molecular mechanism underlying life, quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified using bulked segregant analysis via sequencing (BSA-seq). Ethylene emission, flesh firmness, or crispness of fruit from 1,273 F1 plants M. asiatica Nakai ‘Zisai Pearl...

kaolin-based film as surround wp® was applied to ‘galaxy’ apple trees to evaluate its effects on postharvest fruit quality. following harvest, the surround wp® on the fruit skin was either wiped off, or left unwiped, then, the fruits from these treatments along with fruits from non-surround wp®-treated trees as the control were stored at 6°c for 100 days. surround wp® film application reduced w...

objective: antioxidants are considered as the main factors in the inhibition of unwanted oxidation reactions. materials and methods: in this research the antioxidant potential of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica (m. domestica) cultivated in the kashan, qamsar area was evaluated. the antioxidant activity of the samples were evaluated using two complementary antioxidant...

Effects of 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride (AVG or Aviglycine HCl or ReTain) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on fruit retention, fruit quality, eveloved ethylene, and respiration in ‘Rome Beauty’ and three ‘Delicious’ apple cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh.) were studied.  The experimental trees were treated with either AVG, applied at 120 g a.i. per 935 L. ha-1 or NAA, applied at t...

ABSTRACT- Firmness is one of the most important quality indicators for apple fruits, which is highly correlated with the storage time. The acoustic impulse response technique is one of the most commonly used nondestructive detection methods for evaluating apple firmness. This paper presents a non-destructive method for classification of Iranian apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Golab) according...

objective: many species of plants present noticeable potency against human bacterial and fungal pathogens. materials and methods: in the current study, antimicrobial activity of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica cultivated in the qamsar area of kashan, iranwas investigated. the disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) evaluation antimicrobial activity ...
